Be A Part Of The "Madness" On Thursday

Oct 23, 2012

It's time to start thinking basketball. The regular season tips
off in less than three weeks. So join us in the Storm Dome on
Thursday evening from 7-9 p.m. for Almost Midnight
Madness.

So what is Almost Midnight Madness?
Well, celebrations takes place each October on campuses around the
country marking the start of basketball season. Many take
place at around midnight on the first day of practice. We're
kicking off this year's basketball campaign on Thursday
evening as part of the GSW Almost Midnight
Madness celebration.

A faculty/staff vs. students basketball game,
contests, along with performances by the dance
team and cheerleading squad, will lead up to introductions of
the men's and women's basketball teams. The annual "spot shot"
competition follows featuring a Hurricane and Lady
Hurricane representative from each class teaming up
in a brief competition. The grand finale will be a pair of
half-court heaves by GSW students for free books next semester.

The public is welcome to attend Almost
Midnight Madness. Admission is free.
